4.2 Installing the Maintenance Console

4.1 Connecting the PC

The Maintenance Console serves as an overall system programming tool for the PBX. The Maintenance
Console's Quick Setup lets you easily configure the PBX to receive intercom and trunk calls, as well as apply
basic settings such as time and date.
To programme the PBX, connect it to the PC with serial interface.

CAUTION
When connecting a PC to the PBX via the RS-232C port, it is necessary to keep the following in mind to
protect the system:
1.
Make sure that both connector cases (frame ground) of the RS-232C cross cable (shielded cable)/USB
cable are conductive. If they are not conductive, make sure that both connector cases of the cable are
firmly connected.
2.
If this is not possible, connect the frame of the PBX to the frame of the PC using an earthing wire in
order to prevent difference in the electrical potentials.
4.2 Installing the Maintenance Console
For the system requirements of the PC (e.g., operating system, hardware specifications), refer
to "3.3.1 Installing and Starting the Maintenance Console" in the Installation Manual.
Note
•
Make sure to install and use the latest version of the Maintenance Console.
•
To connect the PC to the PBX via USB, the KX-TDA USB driver must be installed. Follow the
instructions of the wizard to install the KX-TDA USB driver. When the PBX is first connected to the PC
via USB, you may be asked to select the appropriate USB driver. Browse for and select the KX-TDA
USB driver that was installed previously.
